About Lectrosonics WM Transmitter

What sets the WM Watertight Belt-Pack Transmitter with Lavalier Mic apart is its exceptional resilience and adaptability, making it an indispensable tool for professionals in demanding audio environments. This robust transmitter is meticulously designed to withstand the challenges of wet or dusty conditions, featuring O-ring sealed battery compartments and input jack, a compression-sealed antenna port, and a gasket-sealed control panel and back cover. Its durable machined aluminum housing is corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-term reliability even in harsh settings.

The WM transmitter is not only built to last but also to perform. It offers selectable output power levels of 50, 100, or 250 mW, catering to different operational needs. Whether you're looking to maximize battery life or extend the operating range, this transmitter provides the flexibility to do so. The dual AA batteries offer an extended operating time, a significant improvement over previous watertight transmitter designs.

User interaction is enhanced through larger membrane switches, an intuitive control panel, and a highly visible, backlit LCD with a lockout option. These features contribute to a user-friendly experience, allowing for quick and efficient setup and adjustments. The transmitter's programmable compatibility modes ensure seamless integration with a wide variety of receivers, making it a versatile choice for diverse audio systems.

The advanced servo bias input circuitry is designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of lavalier microphones, with selectable voltage options available directly from the LCD interface. This flexibility extends to dynamic microphones as well, with the bias being switchable off, and a line level setting for signal levels up to 5 volts. The low-frequency roll-off is adjustable from 35 to 150 Hz, allowing for precise audio tailoring.

A DSP-controlled analog audio limiter is strategically placed ahead of the first mic preamp, providing more than 30 dB of overload protection. This limiter is acoustically transparent, maintaining low distortion and preserving the dynamic range of the audio. The bicolor LEDs on the control panel offer accurate indication of limiter activity, aiding in the optimal setting of input gain.

The transmitter's DSP-based pilot tone and compatibility features are particularly noteworthy. The DSP-generated pilot tone eliminates the need for fragile crystals and reduces squelch problems in multichannel systems. The compatibility modes allow for backward compatibility with all Lectrosonics IFB systems, 100/200 Series systems, and even some analog receivers from other manufacturers.

For professionals who require remote control capabilities, the LectroRM mobile application by New Endian LLC offers a convenient solution. Available for both iOS and Android devices, LectroRM enables remote adjustments to audio levels, frequency, sleep mode, and lock mode through encoded audio tones. This innovative app enhances the flexibility and control of the WM transmitter, making it a smart choice for dynamic production environments.

In summary, the WM Watertight Belt-Pack Transmitter with Lavalier Mic, operating within Block 26: 665.600-691.100 MHz, is a high-quality, innovative, portable, and reliable solution for wireless audio transmission. Its waterproof design and wide frequency range make it the preferred choice for professionals seeking performance and durability in outdoor or wet environments.
